Hi, I need some info on tylenol painkillers. Are they 100% safe? Is there some study that shows problems with liver?

Well, what is 100% safe? There was a case back in 1982, when a person who was taking Tylenol died, because it contained cyanide, but this was never proved. Nevertheless, Tylenol is today top seller of painkillers in North America. Their products relive pain, allergy and flu symptoms. For example, Tylenol ultra contains acetaminophen, which can cause serious problems in overdose, and can increase liver damage in alcoholics. Moreover, your second question, studies in 2006 showed that even recommended dosage of Tylenol could cause liver damage. The study showed that Tylenol increases liver enzymes. 41 out of 106 patients had three times higher level of aminotransferase than normal, and that indicates possible liver damage. In addition, you should take no more than 4 grams dose.
